Ratings and reviews

The app just doesn't work most of the time. It freezes on the first screen almost everytime I open the app. And on the rare occasions when it does work, it's full of technical issues. I once had to close, reopen and refill my order three times because it kept freezing when I was trying to check out. Edit: The past few times I've used the app, it's definitely been working on a more consistent basis. It still freezes up every now and then, but, when it works, the user experience is great.

When it works, it is great. Two main issues are: white screen and app will not open. Has been happening a lot lately. Then a great feature is a pop-up screen asking if I would like to reorder my last order and it lists all of the items. Unfortunately this has never worked. I click on yes but it randomly puts ONLY one item from my last order into my cart.

cannot set preferred location, have to choose from 5 page list every order. "problem with data" error occurs at least half the times I've used this app, no help at all on how to troubleshoot my order with such a problem. when the app works, (4 times in the last year for me, with 3 errors that prevented me from placing order) the menu and order customizations work well.
